Just because they’re “no see ‘ums” to you, it doesn’t mean the fish can’t see and eat ‘um.

Midges are a staple of trout diets. Imitations of these tiny insects and their cohorts deserve a place in your fly box. And, assuming you have the eyesight or gadgets to tie them on without too much trouble, they probably deserve a devoted box in your pack.

Midge Magic by Holbrook and Koch surveys the entire midge fishing waterfront: technique, equipment, identification, and tying. The fly tying piece is especially helpful, as the strategies and patterns can be employed by expert and beginner tyers alike.

If you want to take advantage of a year-round food source for trout in nearly every stream, pick up Midge Magic to acquaint yourself with these little bugs.
